The NFL Hall of Fame should induct members based on stats and achievements, and players that shouldn’t have been inducted in the past shouldn’t validate inducting players with the same statistics. I’ve been thinking about this debate since Eli Manning got benched for Daniel Jones, and people started saying Eli Manning should be inducted since he beat the Patriots twice in the Super Bowl. I saw Benjamin Allbright, a popular NFL journalist, claim that the Hall of Fame isn’t just the Hall of Very Good Stats, subsequently citing Joe Namath. However, isn’t that basically what the Hall has become? The NFL’s last class of Hall of Famers included 6 players, each of which had significant career statistics. The class combined for 49 Pro Bowl appearances and 36 All-Pro recognitions, and Johnny Robinson added significant contributions from his AFL days. Given that Eli Manning never achieved All-Pro status and had mediocre career numbers at best (60% completion rate, .500 win percentage), I believe it reaffirms that the Hall of Fame should only induct players with great career stats.
Over 10,000 career rushing yards. Over 3,000 receiving yards. 80 rushing touchdowns. Anderson is 1 of 9 all time accomplish all 3 of these feats. 1979 Offensive rookie of the year. 6 seasons over 1,000 rushing yards. 2x Super Bowl champ. 1x Super Bowl MVP. Truly a complete running back.
What player was on their way to the NFL hall of fame before falling off of a cliff?
I saw this post on , and thought it was interesting.
Who started out their career looking like a future great, only to suddenly fall off of a metaphorical cliff?

Hey Bolts Fam. So for some of us old farts, we grew up with the Bolts in San Diego at Jack Murphy stadium and Don Coryell at the helm. I was just a young bolt at the time, but the days of watching the chargers with Dan Fouts, Chuck Munice and Kevin Winslow were some of the best memories of my youth.
Congrats to Coach Coryell. Thanks for the memories.
I'll start with one player off the top of my head.. Terrell Davis.
Had a shortened career due to injury but was no doubt an elite RB. He will get in eventually but it's going to take longer than it should.
Only RB in NFL history to have all three:
-
2,000 yard rusher
-
NFL MVP (1998)
-
Super Bowl MVP (SB 32)
Also, 3x Pro Bowl, 2x SB champion, NFL 1990's All Decade Team.
I was doing some reading on the players who will be eligible this year, as well as the "holdover" 2017 finalists who didn't make the cut. Let's look at the 2017 finalists first:
2017 Hall of Fame Finalists Who Weren't Selected
-
Terrell Owens (WR): 15,000+ receiving yards club, 150+ career TD's, #2 leading receiver all-time.
-
Alan Faneca (G): Super Bowl Champion, 9x Pro Bowler, 8x All-Pro, 2000's All-Decade Team
-
Kevin Mawae (C): 8x Pro Bowl, 8x All-Pro, 2000's All-Decade Team
-
John Lynch (S): Super Bowl Champion, 9x Pro Bowl, 4x All-Pro
-
Brian Dawkins (S): 9x Pro Bowl, 6x All-Pro, 2000's All-Decade Team

-
Ty Law (CB): 3x Super Bowl Champion, 5x Pro Bowl, 2x All-Pro, 2000's All-Decade Team

Joe Jacoby (OT): 3x Super Bowl Champion, 4x Pro Bowl, 3x All-Pro
-
Tony Boselli (OT): 5x Pro Bowl, 3x All-Pro, 1990's All-Decade team.
Pretty loaded list of 2017 finalists who didn't make it, right? Add in some of the 2018 first-time eligible players, and you begin to see this is going to be one of the most competitive classes, maybe ever.
2018 First-Time Eligible Players
